Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug BB7736 8'10" × 12'6" $50,000

This 1900’s antique Persian Sultanabad rug showcases the grandeur and artistry of early 20th-century Persian weaving. Woven in the famed Sultanabad region, this piece features a spacious, open-field design with large-scale botanical motifs and palmettes, rendered in a refined palette of warm terracotta, soft ivory, muted beige, and accents of sky blue. The pattern is arranged with a sense of balance and symmetry, giving it both decorative richness and a calming openness.

The central field is framed by a series of ornate borders, the main border adorned with stylized floral elements and vine scrolls, while the inner and outer guard borders offer delicate geometric and floral tracery. The combination of the expansive field and the intricate borders reflects the hallmark style of Sultanabad carpets—both visually impressive and highly versatile for interior settings.

Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this rug has developed a soft patina over more than a century, enhancing its character and depth of color. Its restrained yet elegant palette makes it well-suited to both traditional and modern spaces, embodying the enduring appeal of Persian craftsmanship.
